POWDER PUFF.

Application filed June 19, 1920. Serial No. 390,142.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNETTA T. MonLLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Powder Puffs, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The object of In said invention is to provide a powder pu a hand-bag andkept clean and sanitary and also one embod ing in a single structure amultiple of devices, thereby contributing to the compactness,convenience, and economy of its structure, as well as to its sanitarycharacteristics, all as will be. he reinafter more fully described andclaimed Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a parthereof, and on which similar reference characters indicate similarparts,

Figure 1 is a View showing a powder puff of my improved construction,with the soft surface inside and one flap open or turned back, and

Figure 2 a view showing the puff turned.

Said powder puff consists of a sack-like device covered on one side withsilk, or other smooth surfaced fabric A, adapted to furnish protectionagainst dirt, etc., and the other side covered with wool, cider-down,swans-down, or any other material B appropriate for such use.' The puffis preferably composed of two substantially duplicate parts the edges ofwhich are stitched together for somewhat more than half thecircumference thereof, as to points 15. and 16, and ,the remainder leftopen, forming flaps adapted to be secured together by a snap fastener10, such as a glove fastener, as shown.

In one side of the outside of'the structure is formed a pocket 11 inwhich is mounted an auxiliary puff l2 intended for use as a rouge puff,thus combining with the main powder puff an auxiliary puff in convenientform for use.

When, it is to be used, the main powder puff is turned to bring the softside B out and when not in use it" is turned to bring the smooth side Aout, which at such times brings the powderedside, containing the powder,wit in the enclosure and protects same from dirt, etc., maintaining thesame in a sanitary condition.

which may be carried in 'turned' inside out, the portion normall Havingthus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A powder puff consisting ofv two substantially duplicate circularouter parts of smooth material and two similar circular inner parts ofsoft flufiy material, the edges of which are stitched together forsomewhat mental protecting covering for the powder puff and a pocket fora rouge puff symmetrically placed on said covering and forming anornamental feature thereof.

3.,A powder puff comprising a pair of substantially duplicate circularparts, each having on one side amaterial relatively im-f pervious topowder and having on the other side a soft fiufi'y mate-rial adapted toretain powder between its component fibers, the

said materials of each of said parts being.

stitched together the entire length of the circumference thereof, one ofthe parts being stitched to the other for somewhat more than half thecircumference thereof and the remainder left open to provide for turningthe puff inside out, substantially as set forth.

4. A circular powder puff adapted .to be turned inside out, the portionnormall inside adapted for use as a powder pu and the portion normallyoutside being formed of materialaadapted to serve as a protecting coverfor the powder puff and a pocket for a rouge putfplaced on saidcovering, sub-' stantially as set forth.
